Since 1998, WHO and UNICEF collect annually data on national immunization systems jointly through the WHO/UNICEF Joint Reporting Form on Immunization (JRF) (http://www.who.int/immunization/monitoring_surveillance/routine/reporting/en/). The Joint Reporting Form annually collects national level data on: • reported cases of selected vaccine preventable diseases, • immunization coverage, • recommended immunization schedules, • supplementary immunization activities, • vaccine supply, and • other information on the structure, policies and performance of national immunization systems. National authorities complete the form using an excel based data-collection tool and submit the data to WHO and UNICEF during the second quarter of each year. By 22 May 2014, 173 (89%) member states reported data for 2013. The WHO vaccine preventable diseases monitoring system has been updated with 2013 data and can be accessed through: • country profiles, (http://apps.who.int/immunization_monitoring/globalsummary) or, • by subject (http://www.who.int/immunization/monitoring_surveillance/data/en/) . The data are provisional and an updated data set with late reports and clarifications from countries, together with summary statistics will be published in July 2014 on the above web pages as well as on the Immunization Summary tablets Application.
